Bta sting

[fishkeeprian]

Can BTA'S kill corals? Mine detached from a rock and was blowing around the tank and not sure how many corals it bounced off. The lights are off so can't see any damage yet.

Yep they can. You can turn down/off your flow to help it settle down. Check your water parameters too.

Yep, if you are lucky maybe not bad, and sometimes revive can help ease a sting on corals.

IME just bouncing off a coral isn't enough to kill anything. At most that would just irritate sensitive corals.

I would be more concerned with why the BTA let go and it getting sucked into a powerhead or filtration. That could actually cause many more issues.

Lights are on this more morning, and everything seems fine. I think it has got to do with my Anemone crab has been irratating it. I think it was moving around trying to escape, and got caught in the flow and got detached. The crab has now moved to a bigger Anemone and I have put the nem in a basket and it attached straight away, and is fine this morning.
